Question

1. drag and drop the molecular shapes with the images. choices tetrahedral linear trigonal planar trigonal pyramidal bent

Explanation:

• First molecule: It has a central atom bonded to two other atoms in a straight line. This is characteristic of a linear molecular shape.
• Second molecule: The central atom is bonded to three other atoms in a flat, triangular arrangement. This is the trigonal planar shape.
• Third molecule: The central atom is bonded to two other atoms, but the shape is not linear. This is the bent shape.
• Fourth molecule: The central atom is bonded to four other atoms in a three - dimensional shape where the bond angles are approximately 109.5 degrees. This is the tetrahedral shape.
• Fifth molecule: The central atom is bonded to three other atoms and has a lone pair (implied by the shape). This gives it a trigonal pyramidal shape.

Answer:

1. linear
2. trigonal planar
3. bent
4. tetrahedral
5. trigonal pyramidal
